Dreamers Welcome Television
Following the shutdown of NYC due to COVID-19, Mutual Phase set out to create a place for connection for community. Artists in isolation began making work in their respective homes. All brick and mortar art spaces were closed for the foreseeable future. Families were suddenly homeschooling their kids along with trying to work. Screens replaced schoolhouses for the children. Thus, Mutual Phase launched Dreamers Welcome Television. The goal was to serve both the needs of the artists to share work and the needs of the families to entertain their children and themselves with something enriching that is easy to find. The plan was simple: artists submitted video content for broadcast that is CALMING and/or RELAXING and/or PLEASANT. Anyone could tune in at any hour to watch something cool and enriching. The Venmo names and social handles of the artists were displayed in the TV Guide so viewers could contribute to them directly.
